I thought I was good at guitar because I've spent over a decade learning it and practicing at it in order to become proficient (started with acoustic for a solid 5 years, then electric for 3, and in the last 2 or so I've gotten a proper classical one), but this video, and these songs... it makes me want to truly delve back into learning it and honing my skills until I can truly call myself a master player of the instrument. Thank you immensely for this video, I believe it may have been the push I needed in order to truly rekindle my love and passion for this specific part of my life.

[@DavidChiriboga]

Wow, I love to hear this kind of feedback. Very inspiring for me to make more videos for this community. Glad I can be an inspiration. Let’s make 2024 the year of immersion and progress with the guitar! 👌🏼 Take a listen to the first episode of my recently posted podcast for a little help with guitar goal setting, incase it helps.. 😉

[@DavidChiriboga]

And btw, I’ve been playing for a couple decades now, and while yes, I feel confident in my playing, trying to feel like you truly have mastered the guitar is a life long journey that even the greats will admit is a path that never ends.

From u.k. I play a little classical guitar myself, so I can appreciate musicianship. There’s a guitar tutor that lives around the corner from me. And he toured the Deep South in North America as part of a British band package. And he said, I thought I was good until I went to New Orleans! Different planet!

Hey, I have that guitar, the blue one though. It just shows that when you are a good guitar player, it doesn’t matter what guitar you have cuz I’m just learning and hence the sound that I’m producing isn’t as nice and clean whereas with the same guitar, you are doing magic!

Nice, thanks for sharing. I had that same sentiment with my very first guitar many years ago.

But to be honest, they are not the songs written by Tarrega and Albenz I like most. I like Cadiz, Torre Bermeja, Carnaval de Venezia (this is song I can't play though). And of course I like Paraguay composer, Agustin Barrios Mangore, that I play the most.

[@totallyunmemorable]

I have that same guitar. I didn't think I would like it as much as I do. I hate that coral color, and am looking into repainting it a different color. My only real complaint about the guitar is the high action. Maybe I got a lemon, I don't know, but I have it lowered about as low as it will go, and it's still fairly high. It's a bit difficult to play above about the seventh fret or so. But it actually sounds pretty decent, responds well to loud, aggressive playing. I don't think of it as particularly subtle, but hey, it was $150. It's great for that price.

[@DavidChiriboga]

Cool man. Yea, sometimes with factory guitars, you have to try a couple before purchasing because the action may slightly vary. The one I got was pretty nicely set. No complaints about the action. That’s one of the usual culprits with lower budget guitars. So I was surprised with the nice playability factor. I dig the bold color. I like the Blue one too. But painting it would be a fun project. I actually thought of that as well. The problem is it could get pricey if someone is doing it for you. So defeats the purchase of a budget friendly guitar. lol 🙃

David, what do you think of the guitar overall? My wife bought one for me over a year ago. It was on sale for less than $200.00 at the time. I took some of the relief out of the neck. Then bought a bone saddle. I set the string height at 2.5 mm. The last thing I did was to install a golpeador. I’ve been playing on it to learn flamenco techniques. I am really enjoying having it for many reasons. l still want to get a Blanca because the woods used in the Protege C1 give it a darker sound than I hear with a Blanca. ]What are your thoughts?

Hey Timothy! That’s cool, didn’t know you had one. So, yes, first I think when possible, it’s great if a guitar tech can asses it and make some adjustments and a proper set up to the players comfort, when someone wants to throw that in their budget. The one I received luckily feels good as is. That’s what I liked about it off hand. The only drawback I found as a budget guitar is that you have to add a golpeador for Flamenco playing if you want to take care of it. In terms of really assessing the quality, of course it’s not going to hold up to high end guitar, but what blew me way was that usually for that price range, the guitars are not that great in terms of sound quality and the playability is rough. So that why I’m digging recommending this model for budget beginner friendly students. The playability is so important for beginners. So that’s my main angle on it… And also for many beginner ears, they wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between this and higher end models. But it sounds like you can hear those differences and are itching for a Blanca. 😉 The tone doesn’t bother me. I usually tend to like warmer darker tones

is this your personal rendition of malagueña? I can't find any sheet music that has that second part in it? thanks!

[@DavidChiriboga]

It’s part of an arrangement I made for a version in my Spanish Guitar Made Easy(Beginners e-course program) But that section is standard and comes from the original version. That said, you can find multiple arrangements and versions of it now a days. But in short, it’s based off the original.

EXCELLENT CHOICES!!! 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥 Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring by J.S. Bach..... The Capricho A'rabe by Tarrega, And this one particular piece by Villa Lobos that I cannot remember at this moment, are also beautiful pieces. You've reminded me of just how beautiful Recuerdos de la Alhambra really is!!! I tried that back in the day, but I had not developed my tremolo. IT'S TIME TO GET SERIOUS!!💯🔥🎶🎵🎶🎶 Thanks for the INSPIRATION, and MOTIVATION!!!🙏🏽

[@DavidChiriboga]

Good selections to add to the larger list! 👌🏼 Recuerdos is just feels so good to play and so nice to hear, especially given the connection to one of my favorite majestic places I’ve visited. ❤️‍🔥 Glad I can inspire you! Just trying to give back and inspire, as many others have for me!

[@jeannieheard1465]

I think #3 was played in "Das Boot" while the U Boot entered a Spanish port at night.

[@DavidChiriboga]

Cool, wasn’t aware of that…

[@IamKeennny]

What you call Romance is a work by Francisco Tárrega - Romance de amor. This is not anonymous, but the founder of the modern classical guitar

[@DavidChiriboga]

Hi! Thanks for chiming in, but Romanza is definitely famously known for being an anonymous composition. To my knowledge, nobody knows the composer of this very famous melody. I am very aware of Tarrega, as he’s one of my favorites for Spanish classical, but he’s definitely not the composer of that piece. Maybe he made an arrangement of it, but that would be as far as that goes.

[@IamKeennny]

@@DavidChiriboga I apologize. I decided to clarify, this is really not a Tarrega. I'm learning adelita by F.tarrega and for some reason I noticed that tarrega also wrote the romance. It seems like the author of the romance is v.gomez

[@777xino]

What about Concierto de Orangejuice?

[@DavidChiriboga]

lol, that one too of course…

[@uxooo]

How are you making it have reverb?? Are you editing the Audio a little

[@DavidChiriboga]

Yes, just added a little reverb with my video editing software. For Spanish Guitar recordings, I love my reverb for sure…

[@Anton_the_Vampire]

Definitely good choices, though Asturias was actually written for piano. (Sounds great on guitar) Are we talking ONLY Spanish composers? Personally, I'd add Fandanguillo by Turina, Sonatina by Torroba, Homenaje a Debussy by de Falla, Invocación y danza by Rodrigo, Mozart variations op.9 by Sor, & Danza Española no.5 by Granados. (For another piano piece) OK, more than 5! Lol

[@DavidChiriboga]

That’s correct, that whole Albeniz suite was composed for piano, but ultimately made more famous on the guitar. So many good ones in that suite! Thanks for the additional submissions, all great as well! 👌🏼I was going for some multi leveled beginner-advanced Spanish themed pieces that I’ve noticed are played the most in this realm. I’ll have to make a top 10 😉

[@Anton_the_Vampire]

@DavidChiriboga indeed so. Albéniz & Granados wrote some absolute bangers. There's some awesome Tárrega pieces at all levels too; Maria, Adelita, Capricho Arabe, Estudio Brilliante de Alard.

[@hrothgar2002]

I would add Rodrigo ‘s Concierto de Aranjuez - the best known section ( think it is the adagio ?!) It is very sexy !

[@DavidChiriboga]

Yes, that would def be another top song… maybe for the next list. I’ll have to learn it though 😅

[@BasicBeachCommunity1]

my son might get a cordoba...thx.

[@DavidChiriboga]

That’s great! I stand behind them for great, yet affordable guitars in various price ranges.

Which one is he thinking of getting? Is he a complete beginner?

@@DavidChiriboga c3m.... Or a Yamaha. What's annoying Is the company like Sweetwater they're not listing where they're made. So I'm going to go back to the original website I guess. Yeah my son my oldest place by ear but this sun is able to read music better. Yeah I still listen to Andre Segovia. Now I'm enjoying the hermanos Gutierrez.

I love Capricho Árabe ❤️‍🔥 I actually have a video with that piece on my channel too. I’ll have to check out Tango in D, not sure if I’m familiar with it.

[@muhemmedabdalmejid7577]

My friend this is flamenco guitar 🎸 or classical?

[@DavidChiriboga]

This model by Cordoba is sold as a classical, but really I think it’s set up like a hybrid that works for either style. It’s doesn’t feel like a pure classical or flamenco. That’s why I think it’s a great guitar for beginners to experiment on. It’s a comfortable guitar to play…

[@SchonAly]

What guitar name model you playing ?

[@DavidChiriboga]

That’s the Cordoba Protege Matiz Guitar. I have the name and link listed in the description and in the video too. 😉
